“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words.
“President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him....

....like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for.....

.....all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.”

Wow! @newsmax @foxandfriends @OANN

And to go with that: Here's a clip of him calling himself "the chosen one".

Wow, who else could have come up with such an astonishingly, revolutionary plan?

Trump suffers from the "Common Sense" problem, the idea that all the experts and actual people who's job it is to understand and fix the problems are over thinking it and what they need is some simple, folksy homespun solution.

That's why when his insane rambling codify until an actual plan once in a blue moon when the stars align the plan is never more complicated then "Just stop doing the problem" as if that's never occurred to anyone. He honestly seems to think that the reason we have issues is because nobody but him ever had the idea to just stop having the problem.

"Lower the costs of cars by 3,000" is a child's idea of how making cars cheaper works.

He's every douchebag who's asked a depressed person if they ever tried "Just not being sad" times 1,000 and applied to everything. He's every troll who posts "Just buy a Mac" on every thread about a PC problem. He's an idiot who has mistaken his not grasping the full scope of the problem for some laser guided insight.

So Germany is paying Zero interest and is actually being paid to borrow money, while the U.S., a far stronger and more important credit, is paying interest and just stopped (I hope!) Quantitative Tightening. Strongest Dollar in History, very tough on exports. No Inflation!.....

....WHERE IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE?

He seems to think the Fed has free money for the taking.

For the record, Denmark is only at 1.35% of GDP for NATO spending. They are a wealthy country and should be at 2%. We protect Europe and yet, only 8 of the 28 NATO countries are at the 2% mark. The United States is at a much, much higher level than that....

....Because of me, these countries have agreed to pay ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS more - but still way short of what they should pay for the incredible military protection provided. Sorry!

@NATO, very unfair to the United States!

Trump has clarified that his disloyalty comment meant that American Jews were disloyal to Israel. So there you go, Trump criticizing American Jews for failing to live up to the anti-semitic trope that they owe loyalty to Israel.

The hilarious thing is that his fans were all "helpfully translating" his original remark for him like usual, and all he had to do was use the excuse they were making for him, but he didn't because he doesn't understand that Jewish "loyalty to Israel" is an antisemitic trope.

Once again, he thinks the 2% NATO spending ideal is supposed to be paid by each country to the United States.

Also, who is the United States "protecting Europe" from? It's supposed to be Russia, but Trump publicly sides with Putin against Europe at every single turn.

I'd say it's much more likely he feels angry about being laughed at and having had the Danish PM reject his daft idea outright and his cancelling/postponing the meeting was done out of spite, because that's the way he reacts to pretty much everything.

So you are going for option 2. That was my thought as well, until somebody told me he was booked to speak at a Danish university as part of the visit, but President Obama was also booked and Trump is concerned that his likely poor reception will be compared with Obama’s likely good reception.

I have no evidence for this, but i’d Like to believe it.

I think the basis of this was that if the manufacturers don't have to make cars that get better mileage and generate less pollution, they can use cheaper technology, which would lower the price of the car.
It's still an unrealistic oversimplification though.
 
Trump: Danish PM is "nasty":

WASHINGTON – Speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn on Wednesday, President Donald Trump called Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen "nasty" and "not very nice" after she rebuked discussions about a sale of Greenland to the U.S.

"All she had to do was say no," Trump said, adding that Frederiksen was "not very nice" in her refusal.

“She’s not talking to me. She’s talking to the United States of America," Trump said.

Trump also commented on the original idea to buy Greenland, which functions as a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

"It was just an idea. Just a thought," Trump said.

Literally all she did was say "Greenland is not for sale", and she was responding to a reporter's question, not either Trump OR "the United States of America". But of course she's a woman who said something Trump didn't like, so that makes her "nasty" because Trump hates women.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Trump had a lackey bring him a spreadsheet of the cost breakdown of the average car, crossed off everything that said "safety" or "emissions/environmental" and that was how he pulled "3,000" out of his ass.
